Yeah, I was disappointed with the endings as well. It felt like it just came out of nowhere, our choices troughout the game didn't really seem to matter, it didn't really provide any amount of closure, and all the other reasons stated here made me feel unhappy about it. The rest of the game was damn great though, the best game to come out in many years.

However, there's an interesting theory going on over the Bioware Social Network about the ending, and the more I think about it the more sense it makes. Basically the idea is that Shepard never made in into the cidatel, and everything you see after you get hit by the Reaper gun when running into the beam is simply the Reapers trying to indoctrinate Shepard, and that choosing anything but destroying the Reapers in the end means the indoctrination being succesful, while destroying them means Shepard resisted the indoctrination (and because of that we might see him/her alive).

There are plenty of things that could be hinting at this. For one, you hear a radio transmition that nobody made it to the beam, but somehow both Shepard and Anderson still get there? Also, the whole sequence after you get hit by the Reaper guns is very dreamlike, and we don't seem to be properly in control of Shepard, who for some reason also simply accepts the Catalyst's reasoning, instead of arguing and questioning like Shepard has always done before. Also where did Shepard's armour dissappear, and how else could have survived the Cidatel's destruction?

There are more points supporting this theory and I'm not going to list them all here, but it seems at least plausible, and would IMO make more sense than the endings simply being true as they were. Of course, the question is that if it's true, what happened afterwards?

I have Origins, Awakening and DA II, and I seem to be the odd one here since I actually liked DA II more than the origins. Both had their flaws and good sides, but I found Hawke's story more interesting than the Grey Warden's fight against a horde of orcs (because that's what the Darkspawn are).

Been a long while since I last was active here or did anything about this project, but I never forgot about it either. And now, I have another one ready.

She's tough, she's demanding, and not afraid to state her opinions out loud. Many Charnames have met her, and for some she's been a bit too much to bear while others may even have fallen in love with her. Without furhter words: Jaheira

I think the miniature looks a bit better in real life, but I'm still struggling to master the camera and this was the best shot I managed. If I'll manage a better one I'll post it later.
